Battery dead and I can't figure out why

[GGIRT]


My battery died shortly after departing What could cause this to happen? Magnetos were fine and the aircraft was running normally up until then.

I noticed the ALT light was illuminated during my run-up but didn't think anything of it at the time.

@ggirt It doesn't look like your image uploaded properly so it's hard to tell, but make sure the alternator is switched ON and don't sit at low RPMs for too long.

@vcapra1 Alternator is definitely on and my RPM was high. Not sure what happened with my image there

@ggirt Check your alternator circuit breaker

@vcapra1, Good catch... If you you look closely at the image that was provided, you can see that the circuit breaker is indeed pulled out.

He accidentally pulled a cb and caused the problem. This is only possible because the JF team put so much details in this study level plane.
